Randy, the only wild cat I know of that inhabits the Andes is the Andean Mountain Cat. From my understanding, it is a very small version of a snow leopard at only about 15 lbs or something like that. Unfortunately, it is highly endangered.
Elisabeth, thanks for the info. Indeed, there seems to be disagreement between sources as to what is a wild llama, hence no correct answer. I do agree they are cute!

The Fiasco Farm website has a lot of good info about dairy goats. They explain some of the more practical sides of things like disbudding and I love their stance on CAE prevention. They also give a much better description of buck behavior than just "they're mean".
Have you looked any into milking the llama? Never heard of it but I imagine it's possible.

Kind of off topic but we were thinking about getting goats at one time. My husband hates mowing. LOL
So, I was doing a lot of research and me being me, if I got goats I wanted really neat ones. I was on one goat breeders website and he was explaining his breeding program and I *think* perhaps justifying his prices.
He wrote something to the effect that breeding goats was an art and a science, it wasn't like breeding German Shepherds.......
Also look into Jacks, Jennys and Burros.
A farm I did a lot of earth work with my terriers had a couple of Jennys in the sheep herd.
We were always told to tuck out terriers under our coats when we crossed this field for the very reason they hated dogs.
On one occasion we did a dig right on the other side of the fence with the Jennys and we had to give up on the dig. Working right there in plain sight was to much for the Jennys and we though they would come through the fence after the hunt terriers. Course it didn't help that the nasty little bassids were just as willing to take on the Jennys.
